Evelyn Frandsen Kircher passed away peacefully on May 12, 2011.
She was born June 4, 1922, in Racine, to the late Marius and Martina
Frandsen after they had immigrated here from Denmark.

Ev was very proud of her Danish heritage and traveled to Denmark
numerous times to visit relatives.

She is preceded in death by her husband, James Kircher and her daughter,
Kerry Kircher.

Ev is survived by her daughter, Kelly (Bradley) Egan, grandsons Carter
and Patrick Egan; sister Anne Jorgenson; brother Raymond (Betty)
Frandsen; sister in law Kay Best and other nieces and nephews.

Ev received her bachelorís degree and her masterís degree in education
from the University of Wisconsin Madison where she was also a Sigma
Kappa. She was a lifelong Madison and Badger fan. She was extremely
knowledgeable about Badger football and was a season ticket holder for
many years attending her last Rose Bowl in 1999. In her later years she
and her sister, Anne, traveled extensively throughout the U.S. and
Europe.

Ev began her teaching career in Adams Friendship and eventually came to
be a teacher and a guidance counselor at West Bend High School. She
ended her teaching career as an instructor at Moraine Park Technical
College where she retired in 1992. She was a dedicated teacher until the
end and continued to keep in touch with many of her former students. She
was also a member of Holy Angels Church, Cedar Lake Yacht Club, West
Bend Country Club and AAUW.

There wasnít a topic that Ev couldnít talk about. She was always very
ladylike and had a wicked sense of humor. Ev was extremely interested in
current events, politics and sports. No crossword puzzle was too tough
for her and even in the end she would recite the presidents in order to
keep her mind sharp.

Her greatest joys in life were her two grandsons. She played a large
part in their lives and they will miss not having her around anymore.

The family will hold a private memorial service for Ev.

Because of her lifelong love of learning, memorials to the West Bend
COLUMNS Scholarship Foundation are appreciated. P.O. Box 397, West Bend,
WI 53095.

Evís family would like to especially thank Bev, Carla, Jeanne and
Aunt Kay for their kindness and care.
